Meh, if all I'm after is one-way transmission of meaning into my head, English translations would be a lot more efficient. Not perfect, but probably at least as good as what I would get from trying to puzzle through an L2 by myself.

Because its a prerequisite for leaving this shit hole for good in most cases (well not required, but it def. helps)?

Meh, I'm never gonna leave here for longer than a vacation. Just not happening when your SO is in a profession that's extremely U.S.-specific.

Wow Lews, you party hard lol.

If you are back by Christmas time you, Jake, and I should do something.

I really don't party that hard that often! Maybe once every other month. This last month has just been a bit ridiculous haha.

I'm going to be back either right before or right after Christmas, not sure which yet, but I'd love to meet up with you guys for drinks or something! Jake and I keep talking about it, so we should make it happen!
